Year 9 Football Coaching Day @ Owenbeg

On Tuesday 18th May 150 Year 9 Secondary School pupils enjoyed a Gaelic Football Coaching and blitz day organised by Chris Collins.

From 10am to 12.30pm the players were treated to a morning of coaching by Tony Scullion, Richard Ferris, Diarmuid Scullion, Ryan Mellon, Paul Rouse and Gary Mallon. The 20 minute sessions focused on SAQ, Core Strength and Conditioning, Kicking Scores, Frontal and Side tackle, The Block and Games to Retain Possession. The players all put in a big effort and got a lot out of the morning

After lunch they all had the chance to practice the skills in a 9 aside football blitz.

Thanks to all the Coaches, teachers and the players themselves for taking part.
